Bending iron and strap

I got my bending iron today. I thought for a long time about buying one. They are pretty expensive and I found it quite difficult to justify buying one. I didn't want to buy a cheap one as I always regret buying cheap tools. In the end I went for the bending iron and strap made by luthiers-bench.com. This is also my first direct experience of the effect of brexit. I needed to pay €67.44 import duties and tax etc. in order to get it to EU. Hadn't accounted for that in my considerations, and probably not have bought the iron had I known that. But now I have it and am very happy with the choice I made. I'll be needing it soon when bending the linings.
